If your personalized checklist asks for a birth certificate for each individual, then you will have to. Otherwise, it is only required to prove dependent child/children's relationship to parent.

Copy of birth certificate or other equivalent document
Purpose
To prove the dependent children’s relationship to the parents

Document requirements
  • This document is required only if the applicant identifies dependent children.
  • The document must be one of the following:
    • birth certificate;
    • equivalent document from the birth country; or
    • letter of explanation (where no birth certificate is available in the country).
Individuals who must submit this documentation
  • All the dependent children, including non-accompanying

I’m in the process of uploading my documents and they only asked for my daughter birth certificate and not for myself and my wife.

Things can change so why don’t he apply for one earlier rather than later?
